"Keeps getting easier to use!"
What do you like best about OpenReel? With the addition of Webcam and Android phones to the platform, the app is accessible to just about everyone. Subjects (guests) find it similar enough to Zoom or Teams that it doesn't intimidate them. Great quality and controls for director make this a great tool.

"Awesome tech + stellar customer service"
What do you like best about OpenReel? OpenReel is highly intuitive and smart. They're consistently consulting with clients about what they want and need and improving the product. Most of all, the customer service is unmatched. I actually know the names of people who work there, who are available to help me IN THE MOMENT I'm having an issue. I have never been treated so well by a tech company. I know my experience matters to them.

"Great tooling but some bugs remain"
What do you like best about OpenReel? The upload time of the files is mad! Very very fast uploading from a users device almost in real time. Great way to capture footage remotely and download to director.

"Good insight to OpenReel"
What do you like best about OpenReel? The video streaming quality is amazing, and arguably the best in the industry compared to Teams, Zoom and Webex. The good quality still persists at low bandwith, with zero latency which is what we need.

"OpenReel is a great tool!"
What do you like best about OpenReel? OpenReel was a savior to our business during the pandemic when in-person shoots were not feasible. It captures footage locally so that there are no worries about picture quality or hiccups in recording due to wifi or network problems. Even post-pandemic, OpenReel is a great way for us to capture footage with colleagues who are in different locations effectively so that we don't have to send a team to travel and capture the shoot.

"Honest Review to OpeenReel Capture"
What do you like best about OpenReel? It's an amazing video creation tool, the quality is far superior to Cisco Webex and Zoom. The app runs flawless, we have to record video podcasts and it serves as the best tool available with 0 lags and easy to use UI.

"Loving this tool!"
What do you like best about OpenReel? The recording quality is excellent given the recording medium, whether it's an iPhone, an android phone, or even a WebCam. I love that it does not let the network bandwidth disruption affect the recording. I've been getting quality recordings remotely using this tool.

"Solves a lot of remote capture problems!"
What do you like best about OpenReel? They have thought of everything - HQ local recording, on-the-fly uploading (wizard stuff!), the ability to control the camera's focus/exposure, teleprompters on phones or computers, countdown timers, and the ability to have multiple people run the controls at once. Onboarding people to the app is really easy as well.
